    After 11 weeks of re-training posting letters every week, I complained 10 days ago that I had been doing so longer than I expected. Their reply was that it was an IT problem and to bear with them.
    YESTERDAY I received an email saying it would be sorted very soon and to bear with them as there was a constant shortage of panelists in my area.
    TODAY I receive an email saying that due to being over subscribed in this area I was being rested. :mad:

    Contrary to your post title, I think that, sadly, most of us would believe it.

    Just a quick question,
    Been doing the postage small packets, envelopes etc,

  • I'd recommend checking the weekly envelopes very carefully - they generally enclose a slip of paper saying here's this month's thankyou stamps and you find them loose in the envelope.

    If you haven't had anything like this then I'd suggest you ring/email them.

    Just had this email
    "
    Important message ***Mystery Shopper email claiming to be from TNS***

    Dear Audrey Francis,

    TNS have been advised of a suspicious email, claiming to be from TNS, that has been received by panellists. The example we have seen offers a job opportunity for a mystery shopper and advises the recipient to reply providing the following details:

    Name
    Full Address
    Postcode
    Mobile/Home phone number(s)
    Email Address

    This email has not been sent by TNS, so we ask you that should you receive it, please do not respond and report it to us so that we can investigate. If you are in any doubt about any communication received from TNS, please contact us on 0800 015 3150 or [EMAIL="postalsurvey@tns-ri.co.uk"]postalsurvey@tns-ri.co.uk[/EMAIL]

    Thank you for your continuing support.

    Regards

    Postal Survey Team"

    The email address it is from is [EMAIL="postalsurvey@research-int.com"]postalsurvey@research-int.com[/EMAIL] which I've had mail from before so is legit but my name isn't Audrey Francis.

    What do you think?
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Hi

    Mine also says Audrey Francis. Maybe she contacted them querying the email. Most emails I receive from them say 'Dear Panellist'

    I got the same email, but the relevant point is about being wary of a mystery shopper invite.

    Just got todays post and one of my large letters had on it the following just above my address in large writing for all to see

    'Tues 2nd
    before 10
    p.off / smart'

    Dont expect to be taking part for much longer as everyone at post office now knows that i am taking part. Have informed TNS but this is not the first time it has happened although last time it was much more discrete. Very annoyed
